Jared and I have decided to completely redo our kitchen, which means new cabinets and counter tops, in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">addition</span> to that we are also going to be adding new floating floor so the kitchen will flow right into the dining room.<br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/S41A0xh0mnI/AAAAAAAAAsY/BVAVToimMEg/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 161px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444078799953369714" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/S41A0xh0mnI/AAAAAAAAAsY/BVAVToimMEg/s320/009.JPG" /></a> We will also be adding 2 feet to each side of the kitchen, which will give us more cabinets and counter top space!! I am very excited about this! To make the kitchen look more open he is also removing the boxing that is currently above the cabinets now. So we are <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">hoping</span> it will make it look bigger and more open! We are very excited to get started. We are still working on picking out the flooring so we are currently on hold, but we can't wait to see the end result.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/S409AhJk0MI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/-fLqp59wakQ/s1600-h/005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5444074603668623554" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/S409AhJk0MI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/-fLqp59wakQ/s320/005.JPG" /></a> As a stay at home mom sometimes it is hard to find interesting things to keep you and your child from going crazy! One day I just happened upon a blog post by <a href="http://erinlincoln.blogspot.com/2010/02/layout-and-toddler-time.html">Erin Lincoln</a> (a fantastic card designer) who posted about toddler time with her son. I linked it above.

On our way home one night Ethan fell asleep, it was early so Jared tried to wake him up on the way in the house. It appeared that he was awake, so Jared set him down in front of his feet by the door way. Right as he set him down Ethan slowly fell backward and just laid there for like 5 mins asleep. Mom just happened to be stopping by so we had to move him, when this kid is tired it doesn't matter what you do he is staying asleep!</div><div></div><div>Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you have enjoyed looking in on our life,</div><div></div><div>Hollie </div><div></div><div>The title quote is by Kate Douglas Wiggins<br /></div><div></div>Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-82390020764856141562009-12-10T14:37:00.004-06:002009-12-10T15:11:56.039-06:00Thanksgiving Pictures<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SyFf3vdG-CI/AAAAAAAAAng/GWN2W2_-DSk/s1600-h/thanksgiving+008.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 282px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413713638312048674" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SyFf3vdG-CI/AAAAAAAAAng/GWN2W2_-DSk/s320/thanksgiving+008.JPG" /></a><br /><div>So sorry I have been slow to load new pictures.

Today I was updating his baby book and couldn't believe all the words he is saying now. His favorite words are fan and light but he also says, mama, daddy, papa, ball, flower, tent, ouchie, diaper, up, out, no no, and sometimes water, bed and bath. On top of all the words he is saying he is also climbing on everything and finding new interesting ways to get onto something. He is also eating with a fork and spoon in one of the above pictures. Once I showed him how to use them he wouldn't eat without them! </div><div>Hope you enjoyed the pictures, bet you can guess my favorite!</div><div>Hollie<br /></div></div></div>Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-6340144892532455032009-09-25T15:28:00.001-05:002009-09-25T15:33:54.922-05:00A little playing around<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o1nZ_tbI/AAAAAAAAAhE/5cdYx-gkLIo/s1600-h/130.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385505630981174706" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o1nZ_tbI/AAAAAAAAAhE/5cdYx-gkLIo/s400/130.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o1aIMEGI/AAAAAAAAAg8/JZxdUnQVIdU/s1600-h/096.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385505627416825954" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o1aIMEGI/AAAAAAAAAg8/JZxdUnQVIdU/s400/096.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Cards are #1!<br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o09lnRhI/AAAAAAAAAg0/EoO7bV-LSJo/s1600-h/069.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385505619755615762" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o09lnRhI/AAAAAAAAAg0/EoO7bV-LSJo/s400/069.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Baby Model<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o0oQ6BkI/AAAAAAAAAgs/03O3atg2Ask/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385505614031619650" style="WIDTH: 346px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o0oQ6BkI/AAAAAAAAAgs/03O3atg2Ask/s400/014.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Can we go outside yet?<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o0d0KPzI/AAAAAAAAAgk/W2QqYkdc_gg/s1600-h/004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385505611226693426" style="WIDTH: 354px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/Sr0o0d0KPzI/AAAAAAAAAgk/W2QqYkdc_gg/s400/004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-77201330441629200992009-09-20T11:09:00.005-05:002009-09-20T11:19:59.072-05:00A cutie in wranglers!<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SrZUKoLplqI/AAAAAAAAAgc/vGAXo2jsleQ/s1600-h/ethansept+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383582946129712802" style="WIDTH: 336px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SrZUKoLplqI/AAAAAAAAAgc/vGAXo2jsleQ/s400/ethansept+009.JPG" border="0" /></a> We dressed Ethan up in some of his Wranglers and his Cowboy boots for church this morning!

He also loves to watch daddy work out in the addition, which is on its way to being complete. </div><div>Have a blessed day!</div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div></div>Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-68566510289997260292009-09-10T17:59:00.006-05:002009-09-10T18:10:06.284-05:00Ethan on the run!<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFJ4XKFPI/AAAAAAAAAfU/2T3KUnrRSMo/s1600-h/house+project+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379977634665600242" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFJ4XKFPI/AAAAAAAAAfU/2T3KUnrRSMo/s400/house+project+002.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmHDR95NVI/AAAAAAAAAf0/7-86_yOhzVQ/s1600-h/houseproject2+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379979720303129938" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmHDR95NVI/AAAAAAAAAf0/7-86_yOhzVQ/s400/houseproject2+001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Well it has been to long since my last post so I have a few new pictures for you to look at! The first picture is Ethan running around our bedroom before the carpet was put it. I know it is beautiful, but it was going to need more work than we wanted to mess with. This same floor is in the dining room so Jared does plan on leaving that there. Ethan ran around this room for like 15 mins. Don't know where he gets all that energy, but it sure is cute!<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFK9CA5hI/AAAAAAAAAfk/MLvmxh-ipjw/s1600-h/house+project+005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379977653098964498" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFK9CA5hI/AAAAAAAAAfk/MLvmxh-ipjw/s400/house+project+005.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFKbaMwlI/AAAAAAAAAfc/DgCQnWGCrwM/s1600-h/house+project+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379977644073599570" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFKbaMwlI/AAAAAAAAAfc/DgCQnWGCrwM/s400/house+project+004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFLjXCNxI/AAAAAAAAAfs/wjV9UhlMoRI/s1600-h/house+project+013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379977663387678482" style="WIDTH: 322px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SqmFLjXCNxI/AAAAAAAAAfs/wjV9UhlMoRI/s400/house+project+013.JPG" border="0" /></a>Finally, I have some pictures of Ethan and Ribbit his stuffed frog. He wanted to play with his tricycle in the house so I pushed it in. Then he grabbed his frog and started pushing him around! Don't know where he got the idea but it sure was cute! He also hugs ribbit and says ahhh the whole time!! So cute!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-2726332563057852602009-08-12T13:35:00.005-05:002009-08-12T13:48:05.951-05:00Ethan's new boots!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMNPA5BNpI/AAAAAAAAAck/d0lhbZX85XY/s1600-h/beg.+of+aug.+ethan+outside+030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369149732344116882" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMNPA5BNpI/AAAAAAAAAck/d0lhbZX85XY/s400/beg.+of+aug.+ethan+outside+030.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMNOubbjMI/AAAAAAAAAcc/uJ8qnIuBA9Y/s1600-h/beg.+of+aug.+ethan+outside+029.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369149727388175554" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 346px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMNOubbjMI/AAAAAAAAAcc/uJ8qnIuBA9Y/s400/beg.+of+aug.+ethan+outside+029.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMNNjU1OaI/AAAAAAAAAcM/l9TinAGmLps/s1600-h/beg.+of+aug.+ethan+outside+018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369149707227838882" style="WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMNNjU1OaI/AAAAAAAAAcM/l9TinAGmLps/s400/beg.+of+aug.+ethan+outside+018.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMMZvuNoZI/AAAAAAAAAcE/27x1utgxgew/s1600-h/western+clothes+and+cards+006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369148817202323858" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMMZvuNoZI/AAAAAAAAAcE/27x1utgxgew/s400/western+clothes+and+cards+006.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMLw5x41NI/AAAAAAAAAb8/ecnUIpOS6mU/s1600-h/western+clothes+and+cards+018.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369148115527455954" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SoMLw5x41NI/AAAAAAAAAb8/ecnUIpOS6mU/s400/western+clothes+and+cards+018.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>What a little cutie!

He is really getting the hang of it and now will walk anywhere holding his arms out in the frankenstein stance that every new walker does! I have to say it is one of the cutest things I have ever seen! Ethan is one month away from the big BIRTHDAY! This little guy has been such a blessing. At first Jared and I (mostly me) were a little scared. We didn't think that we were ready for a baby. We had only been married 6 months! That just goes to show that God has a wonderful plan for all of us!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by,<br />Hollie<br /><br />(Don't forget to visit my card blog)Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-73360473765854825472009-06-01T16:27:00.006-05:002009-06-01T17:02:02.630-05:00Silver Dollar City Trip<div>For our anniversary Jared and I went to Silver Dollar City!

Everyday there seems to be something more precious about him! He has started to do some baby talking, which is really cute! He says mama, dada to Jared, and hey! He has started to wave all the time even when there is no one to wave to, he will just sits and waves. Two nights ago he took two steps by himself, although he hasn't done it again I went ahead and marked it on the calendar! Ethan also loves bath time! I imagine most babies love the water but it is so cute how he will sit and play with his rubber ducky! Last night Jared said "Ethan mommys getting your bath water ready, go in there" and he went right into the bathroom all by himself. How cute is that?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div>yHollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624400763502334502.post-72898790465477043502009-04-14T10:16:00.008-05:002009-04-14T12:11:57.284-05:00Cards and Ethan<div align="center"><span style="color:#000066;"></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SeSrIHPj5TI/AAAAAAAAAMI/oq6QBVmMhi8/s1600-h/cardsandmore+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324568815330387250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SeSrIHPj5TI/AAAAAAAAAMI/oq6QBVmMhi8/s200/cardsandmore+009.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#000066;"><br />Sleeping after a long weekend for Easter!<br /></span><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324568813127220066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SeSrH_CSO2I/AAAAAAAAAMA/j4pXMrp6Q7A/s200/cardsandethan+025.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;">One of Ethan's first teeth on the top!<br /><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324568804208454914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_2NYSW16QDDo/SeSrHdz4rQI/AAAAAAAAALw/sh0CHsE9NNg/s200/cardsandethan+001.JPG" border="0" /><span style="color:#ffffff;"><span style="color:#000066;">Sitting on our coaster holder!

We were really excited to meet there baby girl Elsha. We had a lot of fun and Ethan did great on the 13 hour trip! (and he is teething) I have also added pictures of some of my latest cards! This has really become my favorite hobby! </div></div></div></div>Hollie Shepardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03560906995488260761noreply@blogger.com1
